Wine Tastings
Tastings can range in style and length but usually last between 60-90 minutes with wines/spirits and or beers that can be delivered direct to your door. Alternatively, I can recommend what to buy from most leading supermarkets and or wine merchants for those who prefer to go it alone!
Private & Corporate Events
Events are fun, informative and are as in depth as you wish. Tastings can take place at a time that’s right for you and is a great way to bring colleagues, clients and families together when working or living apart.
Private tastings start from 1 to 15 logins. Larger groups are always welcome. Please enquire for more details.
Writing, Education and Consultancy
